Apologies if already mentioned (I searched but couldn't see anything) and I'm sure a lot of you might already know about it but Petheads who love 80s Italo disco, enjoyed HRH Princess Julia's Monday set, like the French language version of I'm not scared, etc might want to investigate the Histoire de Coeur compilation on CTR Records. 12 tracks of French language Italo from the eighties. None of it quite as polished as I'm Not Scared but a lot of it is truly fantastic.
The promotional blurb says
"France-the 1980s. A local radio and studio system almost unsurpassed in Europe - add brilliantly inventive labels and producers with a sense of fun & adventure & the result ?
A golden age of Synth-Pop – Post-Disco..inventing the future ..
celebrating the chanson of the past. Updating that for a new generation & a new dancefloor.
Virtually neglected until now - only the heads knowing...
Presented in the classic 45 (Quarante Cinq) 7" format - the way that these great records were produced for the radio & were meant to be heard at that moment ..Curated & Sleevenotes By John Kertland Of CTR"

Re: Histoire de Coeur Compilation
Wow, thanks for this. This looks like a real find, I'll def get hold of a copy. I am an absolute sucker for French disco.If life is worth living, it’s got to be run, as a means of giving, not as a race to be won

Re: Histoire de Coeur Compilation
Oh, that's a great recommendation. I love some Mylene Farmer and Taxi Girl (Mirwais' first band) synthpop, so this might be right up my alley.

Re: Histoire de Coeur Compilation
I did too. Arrived last week and I really enjoyed it. There’s a volume 2 this year apparently.

If you want the CD, you have to buy the vinyl too. Bah.DavidWL wrote:For anyone following this thread, and interested, there's a second volume that has just been released, again on CTR records.
